Lyrics:

[intro Kendrick Lamar &ampamp Eckhart Tolle]
heart Plays In Ways The Mind Can&ampapos;t Figure Out
heart Plays In Ways The Mind Can&ampapos;t
heart Plays In Ways The Mind Can&ampapos;t Figure Out
this Is How We Conceptualize Human Beings

[verse 1 Kendrick Lamar]
my Auntie Is A Man Now
i Think I&ampapos;m Old Enough To Understand Now
drinking Paul Masson With Her Hat Turned Backwards
motorola Pager, Off-White Guess Jacket
blue Air Max&ampapos;s, Gold Chains, And Curl Kits
&ampapos;93 Nissan Wax Job, The Earliest
big Social, Big Personality, Vocal
played The Underground Verbatim And Stayed Local
my Auntie Is A Man Now
i Watch Him And His Girl Hold Their Hands Down
tip Of The Avenues Under Street Lights Made His
thinking, &ampapos;i Want Me A Bad Bitch When I Get Big&ampapos;
they Hug On The Corner Like California King
cold Hand All Up Her Skirt, Cars Whistling Down The Road
see, My Auntie Is A Man Now, Slight Bravado
scratching The Likes From Lotto
hoping That She Pull Up Tomorrow
so I Can Hang Out In The Front Seat
six By Nines Keeping The Music Up Under Me
my Auntie Is A Man Now
asked My Momma Why My Uncles Don&ampapos;t Like Him That Much
and At The Parties Why They Always Wanna Fight Him That Much
she Said, &ampapos;ain&ampapos;t No Tellin&ampapos;
niggas Always Been Jealous Because He Had More Women
more Money And More Attention Made More Envy
calling Him Anything But Broke Was Less Offending&ampapos;

[verse 2 Kendrick Lamar]
my Auntie Is A Man Now
i Think I&ampapos;m Old Enough To Understand Now
drinking Paul Masson With Her Hat Turned Backwards
back When It Was Comedic Relief To Say, &ampapos;faggot&ampapos;
faggot, Faggot, Faggot, We Ain&ampapos;t Know No Better
elementary Kids With No Filter, However
my Auntie Became A Man And I Took Pride In It
she Wasn&ampapos;t Gay, She Ate Pussy, And That Was The Difference
that&ampapos;s What I Told My Friends In Second Grade
she Picking Me Up From School, They Stare At Her In The Face
they Couldn&ampapos;t Comprehend What I Grew Accustomed
we Pull Off Bumpin&ampapos; Quik Like It Was Nothing
my Auntie Is A Man Now, What A Relationship
i Grew Up Fast, I Needed No One To Babysit
he Gave Me Some Cash Then Gave Me Some Game
cherry Freshener On The Dash, I Never Complained
she Even Cut My Hair At The Pad, Was Loving My Fade
the First Person I Seen Write A Rap
that&ampapos;s When My Life Had Changed
house Full Of Demo, Smoke Stuck On The Window
cameras On The Microphone, All Women And Men Though
my Auntie Was A Man Now, We Cool With It
the History Had Trickled Down And Made Us Ign&ampapos;ant
my Favorite Cousin Said He&ampapos;s Returning The Favor
and Following My Auntie With The Same Behavior

[verse 3 Kendrick Lamar]
demetrius Is Mary-Ann Now
he&ampapos;s More Confident To Live His Plan Now (Talking To The World&ampapos;s Gonna Bring You Down)
but The Family In Disbelief This Time (Talking To The World&ampapos;s Gonna Bring You Down)
convincing Themselves, &ampapos;he Ain&ampapos;t Living Discreet, He&ampapos;s Fine&ampapos; (Talking To The World&ampapos;s Gonna Bring You Down)
they Said They Never Seen It In Him, But I Seen It (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
the Barbie Dolls Played Off Reflection Of Venus (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
he Built A Wall So Tall You Couldn&ampapos;t Climb Over
he Didn&ampapos;t Laugh As Hard When The Kids Start Joking (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
&ampapos;faggot, Faggot, Faggot,&ampapos; We Ain&ampapos;t Know No Better
middle School Kids With No Filter, However
i Had To Be Very Mindful Of My Good Cousin
i Knew Exactly Who He Was, But I Still Loved Him
demetrius Is Mary-Ann Now
i Mean He&ampapos;s Really Mary-Ann, Even Took Things Further
changed His Gender Before Bruce Jenner Was Certain
living His Truth Even If It Meant See A Surgeon
we Didn&ampapos;t Talk For A While, He Seemed More Distant
wasn&ampapos;t Comfortable Around Me, Everything Was Offensive
but I Recall We Both Had A Sick Sense Of Humor
made Raw, But Time Changes All

[verse 4 Kendrick Lamar]
demetrius Is Mary-Ann Now
remember Church, Easter Sunday
i Sat In The Pew, You Had Stronger Faith
more Spiritual When These Dudes Were Living Life Straight
which I Found Ironic &ampapos;cause The Pastor Didn&ampapos;t See Him The Same
he Said My Cousin Was Going Through Some Things
he Promised The World We Living In Was An Act On Abomination
and Demetrius Was To Blame
i Knew You Was Conflicted By The Feelings Of Preacherman
wondering If God Still Call You A Decent Man
still You Found The Courage To Be Subservient Just To Anoint
until He Singled You Out To Prove His Point, Saying
&ampapos;demetrius Is Mary-Ann Now
church, His Auntie Is A Man Now,&ampapos; It Hurt
you The Most &ampapos;cause Your Belief Was Close To His Words
forcing Me To Stand Now
i Said, &ampapos;mr. Preacherman, Should We Love Thy Neighbor
the Laws Of The Land Or The Heart, What&ampapos;s Greater
i Recognize The Study She Was Taught Since Birth
but That Don&ampapos;t Justify The Feelings That My Cousin Preserved&ampapos;
the Building Was Thinking Out Loud, Bad Angel
that&ampapos;s When You Looked At Me And Smiled, Said, &ampapos;thank You&ampapos;
the Day I Chose Humanity Over Religion
the Family Got Closer, It Was All Forgiven
i Said Them F-Bombs, I Ain&ampapos;t Know Any Better
mistakenly, I Ain&ampapos;t Think That You&ampapos;d Know Any Different
see, I Was Taught Words Was Nothing More Than A Sound
if Ever They Was Pronounced Without Any Intentions
the Very Second You Challenged The Shit I Was Kicking
reminded Me About A Show I Did Out The City
that Time I Brung A Fan On Stage To Rap
but Disapproved The Word That She Couldn&ampapos;t Say With Me
you Said, &ampapos;kendrick, Ain&ampapos;t No Room For Contradiction
to Truly Understand Love, Switch Position
&ampapos;faggot, Faggot, Faggot,&ampapos; We Can Say It Together
but Only If You Let A White Girl Say &ampapos;nigga&ampapos;&ampapos;
